Spoiler

@Spiritmon, do you have 4 free item slots in Kogeki's bag to carry all of that?  Money doesn't take up any space, but everything else requires 1 item slot in the bag to carry.

---------------------------------------------

Marcus deflates when Kee grabs some items; declares neutrality; and walks off, followed by Kogeki trying to stuff about half of what's left into his bag.



"...*sigh*...Daxter, leave it.  I still stand by what I said to you about Team Artificers, but I don't think anything we say to the rest of your team is going to make much of a difference right now.  I really hope that attitude doesn't end up getting Kee into needless trouble in the future..."

He shakes his head mournfully before continuing.

"I won't be taking anything myself.  Doesn't sit right with me, and this isn't what I came here to do anyways."

Karen fidgets nervously, uncomfortable with all the fighting and unsure what to do about it.

"Um...I'm...gonna sit this out as well...*ahem*..."

"...listen, I've got a story for you all when we have a chance to rest for a little bit.  If my gut feeling is right, there'll be one soon.

"...this isn't going to be a happy story, is it?"

"I'm afraid not, Karen.  I'm afraid not..."

For a moment Pyra looked as if she was distressed by Dax almost rudely refuting her compromise, looking between him and Kogeki (who has been in just about a stormy mood as she has been since the Conk Squad) a tad bit fretfully and not with a little vexation. For a moment she could only think 'Why can't we just get along and happily cooperate, on this, that, and beyond?, ' but that dread was soon dashed when the spiritual ninja agreed (reluctantly/begrudgingly or not) to the amended deal, letting out a relieved *Sigh* and giving her nod of consent/approval of it too. Whew, what a relief that was! A bit tinged with lingering tension and discontent, but at this point she'd take anything that got the party to relax and not fight with her or each other over (to her) silly and pointless nonsense!

Kee's own headless initiative earned him a bit of a frown - what good was her deal if not everyone stuck to it? - but other did not have a problem with him or his choice to stay out of that irrational mess of conflicting emotions and ideals. After all he too was a cherished friend of hers, and his belief-thoughts were of utmost importance to him and herself (even if she didn't hold them true to her heart)! That, and she really didn't care too much about the Items anyway, especially not if they were sparking off pseudo Fights within the group somehow.

Marcus' foreboding statement towards her fae friend manages to catch her attention, causing her to gain more interest in him.  More so when he gave his rebuttal to phantom brave after clobbering him/Dax in the head (something which earned him a quick dirty look - was there really a need for that?), particularly raising it with his words about caring. Eventually it lead to the brimstone imp walking up to be beside him, leaving the final fate of the Item Pile to Kogeki and Dax to finish fretting over. 

".....Hmm, Craftmon Marcus, I am....confused about you. Many others too, but right now only you. About this, I ask you thusly, truly: why do you.....feel as you do? About my group's choices and deliberations, about Mightless Conkeldurr and his wretched intolerance? Care as much as you do, yes, so much over what we-they think, believe in, do-as-we-desire? *Shakes head* You owe to us-them naught such concern, nor do I think we-they warrant it too? What does it all matter to you, what we, everyone, chooses for ourselves to be, in thought, action, and in-between?

"*Smile dims, Pyra looks away to the path ahead* Do not get it, nay, not in the smallest least. Agree more and most ardently with what idea-beliefs Kogeki and me thinks about them and those alike, and wonder why no one else does agree or see what we see. Foolishness, mis-match kindness, is it now......or it is something else I not see, blind to now in my lacking, growing understanding....?"

(Ready to move one when everyone else is, mates! Don't hold up for me now! If Bag Space for the 3 Apples/1 Tiny Reviver/1 Heal Seed is an issue [Not Counting what Kee took], she'll hold onto some/all of the Apples herself and leave the rest to Kogeki/Dax to sort out between themselves!)
